2013 Headliners

how do you know?

Joe Spudmuncher will give Rev9 the skip.

I like aspects of the LOVE album; the start is good. But then they just stick, what sounds to me, the same version of I am the Walrus that is on Mystery Tour. I got the impression that the record didn't really know what it wanted to be.

Do you guys mean The Bee Gees? Who're The Beatles..

[Guest]

The Stones will suffer from not having one totally cohesive, accessible "masterpiece".

[Matt87]

Granted it does with IATW, but then again what could you have done with that song. Its the loose direction to the album that I like, feels like an uncertain journey from start to finish.

[tylerdurden]

Let It Bleed, Beggars Banquet, Exile & Sticky Fingers are all drop dead cohesive masterpieces

you're talking about their recorded output, albums. True longeivity comes from songs becoming known outside of the recorded version, when they take on a life of their own.

Albums are dead, anyway, get with the show, grandads/grandmas

[Matt87]

They could have sampled a LOT from IATW!

It's probably true that the Styones don't have a communal singalong number in the vein of a Hey Jude or a Blowin' In the Wind.

Or even a Wonderwall or an Angels.

Only You Can't Always get What you Want gets even close to it.

But then, as noted, they're a blues and rock'n'roll band.

Oh, they're great for dancing to - just not for sitting round a campfire strumming an acoustic

[Mardy]

yeah, precisely. I mentioned satisfaction and gimme shelter. I'm not convinced the rest of those you listed have really crossed over into becoming 'folk' (not really the word I want, but you get what I mean) songs. I'm definitely NOT arguing it's a mark of quality, but it is a mark of longeivity and a mark of whether a song *lasts*

Not explained that well, I'm probably even less convincing when I'm slurring over a pint and banging a table, annoyed at my own inarticulacy, but I'm happy to give it a go

Agreed, Satisfaction is probably the number one Stones sing along tune, although Brown Sugar would run it close. I Love Angie ( but thats another story ) and You can't always get what you want if backed by a choir would be great!

[Ed209]

Agree in part, although Angie, dead flowers etc have always produced great sing alongs

[Wooderson]

Jumping Jack Flash is the business lads FFS.

Yeah forgot JJF, also Paint it Black , the list is getting bigger. Surely they have to play, i wonder if Mick made a call to David B and asked him about Glasto ?

Something along the lines off,

" Hello Dave man, so this Glastonbury gig man, do you think it's worth doing or what ? "
